Thank you for re-electing me to serve a second term in the Minnesota Senate. Although there will be tougher challenges ahead, I'll do my best to represent you, the people of the East Side St. Paul.

I am humbled to be a part of the legislative process that brought forth progress to our state. While I have collaborated with fellow legislators for the greater good of Minnesota, not a single day goes by that I don’t think about finding growth for the East Side. I have worked hard on economic equity, youth summer jobs, affordable housing, and funding for Metro State and the East Side Enterprise Center. Furthermore, as a culture broker I will continue to spend time outside of legislation building our diverse communities together with you.
